The best gaming monitor is an incredibly important piece of a PC gamer's setup. Why spend lots of money on a gaming PC if you're going to play it through a tiny, 20-year-old workstation monitor? Fortunately, there are many great gaming monitors available today, including those offering ultra high-refresh 1080p, zippy 1440p options, high-fidelity 4K, and a slew of ultrawide panels.

While we're expecting further fantastic panels throughout 2025, right now the best gaming monitor is the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. It's got a stunning OLED panel, one that you normally find in some fantastic gaming monitors but for less money. Check out our guide to the best OLED gaming monitors for even more options.

You need to match your monitor choice with your PC specs to get the most for your money. A 4K monitor with a high refresh rate would likely be overkill if your rig has an older graphics card, and for those cases, the BenQ Mobiuz EX240 is the best budget 1080p monitor at the moment. If you prefer high refresh over resolution, check out our guide to the best high refresh rate gaming monitors.

You want a brilliant OLED panel, but cheaper: The same great panel as some of the best OLEDs we've tested, but for less. Yep, that'll do.

Don't buy if...

You're on a budget: It might be cheaper than the competition, but it's still not exactly, well, cheap. OLEDs still come with a hefty price tag, and as a result, you might be better off looking at less expensive options below.

When it comes to the best gaming monitor, we're finally in a place where we can recommend OLED displays. They've been the best for a while now, but the price has often been a holdback despite the incredible benefits of the tech. The MSI MPG 321URX is simply the best gaming monitor you can buy right now, by virtue of the fact that it uses the same panel as some of our OLED favorites, but comes in a lot cheaper.

Being an OLED, it's got response times that make other monitors blush. With a 240 Hz refresh rate and a stated 0.03ms response time, it's about as speedy as you'll get without opting for an esports-focused mega-refresh rate display, and most of those focus on 1080p resolution. Here, you get the full 4K shebang.

And what a panel. The color reproduction is sumptuous, thanks to an excellent glossy coating and all that OLED goodness, and the blacks are great, too. QD-OLED displays can look a little grey under lots of ambient light, but it's not as big an issue here as we've seen on other monitors of this type.

Of course, being an OLED display there's always burn-in to worry about, but the MSI does its darndest to mitigate that with plenty of built-in tech. And the three-year burn-in warranty should take some of the anxiety out of the equation.

The DisplayHDR 400 mode is plenty punchy, while the 1,000-nit HDR mode is better for highlights. It's a bit of a pain to switch between them, but then HDR is still a mess on Windows, unfortunately.

Design-wise, it's nothing particularly special, but then it's not a bad-looking chassis either. MSI has kept the cost down in certain regards, it's true, but really what you care about here is that fantastic panel, for a reasonable price.

What you end up with is a 32-inch 4K OLED monitor that can often be found for $899 or less. That's in stark contrast to its 32-inch OLED competition, which normally ranges around the $1,100 to $1,300 mark. And really, when you factor in what you're getting here and the substantial costs of OLED technology as a whole, that makes it a bit of a bargain.

All things being relative, of course. But this is a staggeringly good display that undercuts its rivals significantly, and as a result, it's the best gaming monitor you can buy right now. It can be a little difficult to get hold of as a result, but if you manage to snag one of these, you're getting all the main benefits of OLED tech for less.

If you still want OLED fun but don't need the 4K resolution, the MSI MPG 271QRX is well worth a look, or if you want something more budget, then the IPS Gigabyte M28U is our top pick. Still, the MSI MPG 321URX is an OLED display at prices that just about start to make sense, and as a result, it's the one to beat.

You want a top-notch 144Hz 27-inch 4K gaming panel: While this LG model doesn't offer anything especially new, what it does have is all exceptionally good.

Don't buy if...

You want OLED perfection: Let's face it, you're not going to get a quality 4K OLED for $500 right now, which leaves this LG as the best 4K monitor for most mere mortals.

The LG UltraGear 27GR93U is the best 4K gaming monitor for its stellar picture quality and all-round performance. It might not be the flashiest monitor around and doesn't have the depth of image the latest OLEDs offer, but it delivers the fundamentals of a great 4K gaming monitor better than most LCD panels and comes at a decent price, too.

LG makes a lot of panels for monitors, but it's paid particular care with this monitor to tune it wonderfully out of the box. Just plug this monitor in, boot up your favourite game (I recommend something vibrant, like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora) and you'll quickly realise just how gorgeous this screen is. There's loads of pop to the picture without going overboard and oversaturating.

As a 27-inch, 4K panel, the resolution squeezes plenty of pixels per inch. That means it's a supremely clear picture and great for gaming but also handles text with aplomb. That said, it's not as immersive as some ultrawide gaming monitors, which will wrap around your vision, and being a full 4K panel this LG will actually often require more graphical power than most traditional ultrawides with fewer pixels overall.

Being a 4K display, you'll likely need a fairly powerful graphics card to run this UltraGear gaming monitor at its fullest. It runs up to 144 Hz, which is plenty attainable with modern GPUs (especially now that Multi Frame Generation is a thing), though you might want to turn on the upscaling to help you reach full speed. It depends on the game and your personal hardware configuration, however.

We recommend you switch on HDR with this monitor, despite it only scraping in with 400 nits of peak brightness. It still looks really great with both HDR and SDR content with HDR enabled, which is a pleasant surprise.

The LG UltraGear 27GR93U is a really strong pick for gamers looking for a monitor that will show off the best of 4K gaming (this side of an OLED, anyway). Also, it's great for editing content on and working with throughout the day—it's a really flexible monitor. Though not literally, unlike some, so don't try and bend it in half.

You want a great budget 4K panel: High-resolution panels are a joy to work and play on but they're usually very expensive. Not this one.

Don't buy if...

You don't have a powerful graphics card: As with all 4K panels, running it at a lower resolution doesn't look nice and you really need a top-end GPU to make the most of this monitor.

The best budget 4K gaming monitor is the Gigabyte M28U. And yes, budget and 4K are not words often seen together. Yet Gigabyte is offering a cheaper 4K panel than most here, and it's still a glorious IPS.

With a 28-inch IPS panel, the M28U offers plenty of pixels per inch. The result is a super clear and crisp picture while gaming, which is paired well with the rich tone of the IPS. For a bright and vibrant game such as Deathloop, it's honestly stunning. As long as you avoid using it in HDR mode, that is, as like many IPS panels it doesn't offer the best HDR experience out there.

What's impressive about the Gigabyte M28U is just how much tech is stuffed into its frame for the money. Beyond the pretty speedy IPS panel, there's a USB hub on the rear that includes multiple Type-A connections. Useful if you want to keep your cables tidy and run your mouse and cable directly to the monitor itself.

The stand is perhaps the only let-down, but I'm willing to let this one slide. It's sturdy enough and offers some height and tilt adjustment, but it's a bit plasticky and not altogether as flexible as some. Though something had to give for this price bracket, and I'm happy it's the stand that's been trimmed back rather than the panel or refresh rate.

You can't go wrong with the Gigabyte M28U, assuming you have the graphics card capable of driving it. We've been using this monitor in the team for over two years now and it's still performing as well as the day we pulled it from its box.

You want the best 1440p monitor: Xiaomi has put together a venerable specification here: Mini-LED, a high refresh rate, and an IPS panel for how much?

Don't buy if...

You see yourself upgrading to 4K in the future: This is the best choice for someone looking to get a 1440p monitor but, if your PC can handle it and you fancy upgrading to 4K, there are cheaper 1440p options to tide you over.

A surprise hit, the Xiaomi G Pro 27I is our pick for the best 1440p gaming monitor. It's a prized and heavily contested spot, too. I think many PC gamers would agree that 1440p and above 160 Hz is a desirable blend of speed and resolution, and that means there are heaps of gaming monitors vying for your attention. But the Xiaomi has absolutely got mine.

At 27 inches, this is about as big as you'd want to go at 1440p. While bigger is certainly possible, such as the Dell S3222DGM, you'll start to notice each pixel as the pixel density decreases. The Xiaomi offers a decent density by comparison.

With a 180 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, and IPS mini-LED panel, Xiaomi is ticking many of the boxes I'd like to see ticked with a 1440p gaming monitor and more.

Mini-LED is a technology that aims to get rid of the singular bright backlight and replace it with, well, miniature backlights. This monitor, specifically, has 1,152 local dimming zones, or tiny backlit zones, each of which can light up or dim as required. The result is a screen with greater ability to show off contrast and reach high levels of brightness.

The downside is that mini-LED, despite the name, is not quite mini enough. The zones, while many, are still too few compared to, say, OLED, which uses self-emissive pixels and therefore has as many zones as pixels. That's a lot, and the Xiaomi's mini-LED backlight can't compete.

Still, it's an improvement on a traditional IPS, and we're talking about a much more affordable monitor here than even your most heavily discounted OLED. It's the best of a well-priced bunch.

Often the biggest indicator of where companies cut back on this kind of monitor is the brightness but, if anything, the Xiaomi can be a bit too bright, though turning that down is easy. If you pop this next to a normal IPS panel, it will not only outshine it but offer a greater contrast with colors, making it excellent for gaming.

The stand is also solid here, and, though it's a bit old-fashioned with four screws that attach vertically, it's more than capable of holding up that impressive screen. Unfortunately, it has no USB-C port, which means it doesn't really function as a hub and has no included speakers so you will not have to get/use your own.

However, it has tonnes of connectivity ports, which make it a great second monitor too and isn't too heavy. There's plenty to like here, especially for the cash.

You want a great value 1440p monitor: You're getting a spec list here that would have set you back double this price just a few years ago.

Don't buy if...

You want to use HDR in games: The peak brightness and weak backlighting don't help the HDR experience, so you'll be sticking to SDR at all times.

The reason I've picked the Pixio PXC277 Advanced as the best budget 1440p gaming monitor is that it's such a solid all-rounder for the price. This is what you want, really, from a budget screen—no unnecessary bells and whistles, just a monitor that delivers in all the right areas.

The PXC277 Advanced certainly provides bang for your buck. For a pretty cheap price tag, you're getting a 27-inch, 165 Hz monitor with a claimed 1 ms response time and up to 320 nits brightness. (Note that this brightness is higher than many more expensive VA panels.)

Naturally, that 1 ms response time is a kind of best-case scenario, and in practice, as we'd expect from a VA panel, it's not quite so snappy. But if you get the settings just right (overdrive set to low) there's little overshoot or ghosting and it feels decently quick.

In practice, all this makes for a monitor that should suit anyone looking for a cheap but very cheerful 1440p gaming monitor today. It's sufficiently fast and snappy, and, most importantly, you're getting a damn good picture straight out of the box. Although it has a predictably lacklustre HDR experience, the monitor's pretty accurately calibrated and things look reasonably vibrant for such a cheap monitor, with the lovely deep blacks and stellar contrast that you'd expect from a VA panel.

And to top it all off, it doesn't look budget at all on the desk, thanks to its slim bezels and tri-leg metal stand. I reckon this would be a great addition to anyone's desk, and certainly for the price.

You just want a great budget 1080p monitor: There are no frills or fancy tech here, just a good, solid panel that's fast and looks nice.

Don't buy if...

You're expecting decent HDR support: While it can handle a HDR signal, this BenQ panel is far better suited to SDR gaming. You'll only be disappointed if you try to run it in high dynamic range.

What the Pixio PXC277 Advanced does for budget 1440p gaming, the BenQ Mobiuz EX240 does for budget 1080p gaming. In other words, it's the best budget 1080p gaming monitor because it offers a very well-rounded, "can't fault that" package, focusing on delivering a solid gaming experience for a reasonable $200 price tag.

The EX240 is well-suited to budget gamers—especially competitive gamers playing esports titles—or those who don't have one of the best graphics cards capable of churning out frames at higher resolutions. This means it goes well with a budget gaming PC, too.

What the EX240 really shows, though, is how far monitors have come in such a short time span. It's not too long ago you'd be paying an arm and a leg for a 165 Hz IPS panel that reaches 350 nits peak brightness, whether 1080p or not.

This thing isn't just a looker on paper, though, it's plenty vibrant and punchy in practice, with decent viewing angles to boot. Bear in mind we're talking about an IPS panel, too, which should be more snappy than a VA, which we found to bear out in testing. Its 1 ms MPRT response time probably means something like a 2 ms GtG response time, but we found it to feel very responsive with very little motion blur. We couldn't notice any significant difference between this and a "true" 1 ms panel.

Oh, and while these things are always subjective, I reckon the chassis looks pretty great, too. It certainly doesn't scream "budget." A solid all-rounder, then, if you're looking to keep your resolution down low.

You want the ultimate ultrawide experience: This level of pixel density has never been available before on such a large screen and it's incredible to see.

Don't buy if...

You're expecting OLED levels of perfection: Samsung has done a great job of improving its VA panels, but it's still no match, in terms of image quality and speed, as a decent OLED monitor.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC is the best ultrawide gaming monitor because, well, just look at it. I mean come on, this thing's ridiculous, right? It's a beast and is without a doubt the least subtle display I've ever come across.

There's also little point trying to convince you whether to buy or not buy this monitor—either way, you probably already know whether you're going to. We're talking a high price for the definition of overkill (but a gorgeous overkill, at that). If you have the money to spare and you want something so outrageous on your desk, nothing we say will change that, and ditto if you don't.

However, just so you know what you're letting yourself in for if you opt for this behemoth: This 57-inch, "4K on the vertical, unreasonable on the horizontal" VA panel monster is essentially two 32-inchers slapped together and made especially bendy with a 1000R curvature, a 240 Hz refresh rate, and more ports than you're likely to need.

In practice, we're talking some serious immersion: screen all around you and nary a washed-out color in sight, plus some full-whack DisplayHDR 1000 for some stellar colour reproduction and detailed bright and dark spots.

Unfortunately, the even the current fastest graphics card (the RTX 5090) will still need some Multi Frame Generation help to take advantage of the top refresh rate at native resolution, and it's unlikely a top-end AMD card will be able to pump out the frames for it. This all depends on the game, though, of course, but bear in mind you'll need some chonky hardware to really see this display at its best in demanding games.

Still, if you're up for a life of luxury, we reckon you don't need to look much further than the Neo G9 G95NC.

You want the best budget ultrawide: Ultra widescreen gaming is super immersive but can get very expensive to enjoy. That's not the case here.

Don't buy if...

You want the best out-of-the-box experience: ASRock's monitor needs a fair bit of tweaking and calibration to run and look as good as it can, but that's to be expected at this price point.

The best budget ultrawide gaming monitor is the ASRock Phantom PG34WQ15R2B not least because it shows just how affordable a decent wide boi can be these days. And it just so happens that ASRock hit it out of the park with its first bash at a gaming monitor, making an incredibly well-rounded display.

With the PG34WQ15R2B, you're getting a 34-inch ultrawide VA panel that can rock up to 165 Hz at up to 1440p resolution. 165 Hz at 1440p is, I reckon, a pretty solid standard for mainstream gaming today, and this extends to ultrawide monitors, too. The well-roundedness doesn't end there, though, because it's also rated up to a very impressive 550 nits peak brightness, with a claimed 1 ms MPRT response time.

Essentially, then, you're getting all the benefits of the Pixio PXC277 Advanced but in an ultrawide package (and an extra $130). Possibly the most pleasantly surprising thing about this monitor, though, is its peak brightness, which is unusual for a VA panel in this price range.

Then, you throw in a 3,000:1 contrast and DisplayHDR 400 certification, and you have the makings of a decent HDR experience—though nothing akin to true HDR, of course.

While the Phantom needs a bit of setting up to get the most out of it, and the pixel response times could be better, even at MSRP it's a pretty cracking deal and is certainly the best ultrawide we've seen for this kind of price.

You want the best large format experience: With a 42" OLED panel right in front of you, gaming on anything lesser will just seem dull in comparison.

Don't buy if...

You want to use it for office work: The low pixel density, lack of stand adjustability, and color fringing all conspire to make this an unsuitable monitor for work.

The Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ is the best 42-inch gaming monitor primarily because it remembers it's a monitor, not a TV. You see, at this panel size, monitors often forget what they are and start to lean towards TV functionality. Or, they're just TVs, full-stop. Not so with the PG42UQ.

OLED TVs like the LG C2 OLED TV (with which this monitor shares the same panel) can present problems when used as a PC monitor, not least of which being that they don't tend to wake and sleep when the computer does. The PG42UQ suffers no such issues. It wakes and sleeps when it should, it has full G-Sync Compatibility and a decent refresh rate to boot.

You're also getting a stunning OLED panel with this monitor, of course, with a 4K resolution at 16:9 aspect ratio. Its 138 Hz refresh rate might seem a little strange, but hey, I'll take 138 over 120 even if it's not a "standard" number.

This all pulls through in practice, too, offering a superbly immersive gaming experience. 450 nits peak brightness for SDR content and 750 nits for HDR content, with true blacks and vibrant colours, all make for a wonderful gaming-slash-home-theatre experience.

This is where the true value of this monitor lies, really, in that it turns a spectacular TV into a veritable gaming monitor. It's got all the simple PC-monitor connectivity gamers require, as well as additional nice-to-haves such as a Gaming menu section for overclocking and pixel shifts to prevent burn-in. It's well worth a look if you're looking for a TV-like monitor rather than a straight-up TV.

You want the ultimate 1440p monitor: If money is no object, you can secure yourself an unrivalled 1440p gaming monitor in the MPG 271QRX.

Don't buy if...

You want the best OLED for the money: You can get a lot more for the same money (or maybe less), even with another OLED.

The best 1440p OLED gaming monitor is the MSI MPG 271QRX. Favoring speed over resolution, it's a great choice for OLED-enhanced competitive gaming, and a superb pick if fast is foremost on your mind. So long as you have a substantial budget...

Usually, I'd say that a 1440p gaming monitor with a 165 Hz refresh rate is a sweet spot for a gaming monitor. The MPG 271QRX goes several steps further, with a 360 Hz refresh rate.

The panel within this MSI monitor is excellent in its response, vibrancy and contrast. That should come as no surprise, as it's the same QD-OLED panel made by Samsung and found in many of the best OLED gaming monitors.

Importantly for competitive gamers, it offers a 0.03 ms response time. That's an impossible feat for any non-OLED gaming monitor today.

Paired with the right graphics card, you can really drive super speeds with this monitor. You'll still need something high-end to tap into 240 Hz or greater frame rates, but if you're willing to spend so much on your gaming monitor then surely an RTX 50-series isn't entirely out of your budget, right? Right?

There's no denying that this monitor is extremely expensive versus other 1440p panels. Even other OLEDs with arguably more attractive specifications. That's why the MPG 271QRX is much more limited in its appeal. Yet if you are chasing supreme speeds and a sporting edge over your enemies, the MSI MPG 271QRX is definitely worth checking out.
